TRAIL DAYS 2026! Mark your calendars for the biggest Appalachian Trail festival in the US May 15-17,2026 in Damascus, VA! Last year, I got to meet so many hikers on my Appalachian Trail Thru Hike and hope to meet you at this years event! If this is your first time attending, make sure to say hello as it would be great to meet you and hear about your plans on the trail! Make sure to check out some of my favorite brands like @townshirt.co @hilltoppacks @_squak @glacialgear and use code METRO for a special discount on their website if you can’t make it to Trail Days!

After my workshops finished up, we headed to Damascus to hit the outfitters and grab dinner. Town was packed so we hit Subway then hurried back to catch Mighty Blue!

traveling vom, a 15 ft tall baby clown, and less than 3 hours of sleep. @fastestknowntime just verified the team’s FKT on the 272 mile Long Trail. Feeling thankful, loved and so so freaking proud. Chump Change Crew scores again. Special thank you to the traveling band and supporters from afar. We’ve managed to raise nearly $17,000 for the @greenmountainclub how about we get that to $20,000! That’s all for this year! Any suggestions for FKTs in 2026?

INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN Stopping for some fresh blueberries on the top of a mountain is a great way to start the day! So grateful for these moments with @alphagalhikes as we make our way NOBO on the Appalachian Trail Thru Hike!
